So now, we're down from your original 300 to 150 years and we're in 1865.
Now that slavery is "over", which it really wasnt but for the sake of this discussion we'll agree that since that is the year Congress abolished slavery, that is also the day it ended.
Anyways, back to the point, now we're in the year 1865. Blacks had been here in America as slaves for 89 years, deprived of education. But slavery is over and now segregation begins. This goes on until 1964, you may have even heard of it, it was called the Civil Rights Movement, then again maybe you haven't.
Now during segregation, blacks went to their own schools which were of the absolute lowest quality and by todays standads wouldn't even be considered schools, they were routinely lynched and beaten, they were made to drink the dirty water, put on the back of the bus.
Who the fukk do you think did all this? It was the white man.
Back to the story, segregation went on for 99 years. Another 99 years that blacks were deprived of proper educational opportunities, equal rights, you know just the small things.
So that 150 years now is now down to 51 years, or another way off looking at it blacks had been here for 188 years and had been oppressed for 188 years. They were not given the same opportunities whites had. . Your original "blacks have been here for 300 years, they should act more like white people" statement, ya I know what you really wanted to say, turns out that blacks have really only had some what of a fair shake here for the last 51 years. Hell, even today they're still fighting for equality. Those 51 years ahve still been uphill.
Now lets look at the last 51 years. Ya, they're not looking great either. Educated, hard working blacks can't find jobs so the state of CA had to pass affirmative action. Blacks dominate the lower class, wonder why that is? Maybe because we've oppressed them for centuries. Blacks are targeted by white officers that routinely send emails making fun of niqqers.
Who do you think continues to oppress black people? White men. Who do you think stole Native American land and continues to occupy it? White men. Who do you think wouldn't let women vote until
1920? White men
And you have the nerve to say something negative about an entire race.
Start by realizing the struggles they face are because of the obstacles we placed. Whites have been educated for thousands of years, going back to Europe, we've been living civilly for as long as we've been around. We've never been oppressed, yaya I know theres been a few white slaves. We've never had masters, never been slaves, never couldnt vote.
Start by taking ownership of what you're race, your ancestors have done to create this situation and then come back and tell us about how bad blacks have had it America for the last 300 years

) who try to combat poverty by preferentially redistributing resources based on race, gender or other discriminatory means. While it's a sad testament to the human tendency to not think critically, it's hard not to be a little amused by the irony of people trying to fix a problem like poverty/lack of opportunity (which isn't racially based) with policies that are racially based...accomplishing little more than giving a valid reason for racial tensions over the preferential treatment
